Vice President JD Vance said he would not watch the execution if it is livestreamed, calling it the worst terrorist attack on American soil outside of 9/11.
## Pentagon livestream plan
The Pentagon confirmed the execution would be livestreamed after Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the public would be able to watch it.
## Execution method history
Hasan's execution would be the first US military firing squad execution since 1945, with the last US military execution in 1961.
